#wfc shockwave

[scourgeofmyownbrain]

Only one guy on here has two eyes, and even then, they're fake eyes. It's big-tits-McGee, Mr. logic man extraordinaire, Geneva Suggestion Believer himself: Shockwave! Yep, all 12 of him, a reasonable amount of alternates to have, unlike some people... Shockwave Height Chart, everyone, fuckin wee.

Quick Disclaimer, if any of the images look weird, it's because I had to stitch a few separate images together to create a full body shot of the character.

Here are links to my Bumblebee Chart, my Optimus Chart, my Megatron Chart, and my Soundwave Chart. Please go gawk at how many Optimus designs there are, sweet fuck, there are so many. For future reference, all these charts will be filed under my "Transformers Height Charts" tag and my "aka the adventures of a..." tag.

Explanations and Sources below the cut.

Unicron Trilogy Energon - ~14 feet 3 inches (No actual source, and Energon doesn't have any listed heights anywhere. For the uneducated, the Unicron Trilogy has given each of its 3 seasons separate names and 3 separate art styles. This is the design used in Energon (S2) though he only shows up in Energon. I was able to compare him to Optimus, and using Cybertron's listed heights, I got this number. I am in physical pain, it does not get better from here. Hilarious side note, his Japanese name is Laserwave, which contains the missing "wave" of Shockwave in this iteration's name.)

Earth Spark - ~15 feet (No actual source for ES, but using a barn door to get Bumblebee's height, then Optimus's, then Megatron's height, I was able to make a guess at Shockwave's. Shockwave comes up to about Megatron's chin; I lost the screenshot I used. It's so convoluted, I know, but it's all I have, also, tiny universe, everyone is so small)

TFA Longarm/V1 - 15 feet 2 inches (Animated has no actual numbers, but the lovely @phoenix-inanis has provided a frankly astounding resource with their own calculations for the heights of all the TFA characters. Go look at it, it's wonderful -> https://phoenix-inanis.notion.site/TFA-Height-Chart-f6ad2960ca8c4c5b859ee4958723aaa4?pvs=4)

Gen 1 - ~18 feet (TFWiki, uuuuh I've got nothing to add)

Netflix Cybertron Trilogy - ~18 feet (I have no source for this, other than assuming that because this design is identical to Gen 1, they are the same height. That's it, really)

Knight/Capel-Verse - ~18 feet (No source, and he never stands next to anyone I can measure him against, but because the TFOne director has said that this movie is both canon to the LA movies and its own separate canon, I am assuming the height I figured out for TFOne applies to this universe as well. Until proven otherwise. Capel directed the ROTB movie if you're wondering why his name is there)

One - ~18 feet (No source, I got this number by comparing him to Optimus. Now, I am aware of the TFO heights listed on the wiki, but I reject those numbers on principal. A: Those numbers are sourced from the Walmart Promotional AR Experience that came out before the movie. B: There are three decimal points, and that number does not convert into a whole number in meters (which is originally what I thought was weird about it). C: The director has said that this movie is both canon to the LA movies and its own separate canon, so I have elected to use the few given heights we have from KCV and worked from there. My Optimus post has slightly more context if you want it)

Cyberverse - 20 feet (This comes from a screenshot of this video which has the Cyberverse height chart everyone uses, though the quality of the screenshot is iffy.)

Aligned Cont. WF/FOC/TFP - 26 feet 2 inches (This number comes from Fandom and I completely believe it, even if they don't list their source, because the entirety of this universe is freakishly tall. Go look at my other charts, all the ALC designs are monstrous compared to the others)

TFA V2 - 29 feet 11 inches (Once again, phoenix-inanis did a fuck ton of work, go look at it, it's wonderful -> https://phoenix-inanis.notion.site/TFA-Height-Chart-f6ad2960ca8c4c5b859ee4958723aaa4?pvs=4)

Bayverse - ~30 feet (Ok, so I don't have a source for this one. There used to be one, BV Shockwave used to be listed as 40 feet tall bc of an article done to promote the movie, but that is no longer listed for reasons not known to me, and making some comparisons to Optimus, I have found them to be kinda close in height. It's very hard to actually validate any of this. Shockwave never stands normally next to anything I can use as a ruler at any point in the movie. He's always at a dramatic angle or partially covered by something in the shot. It's so violently frustrating. I am confident he is around this height though, I just can't figure out how much taller than Optimus he is)

And that's it. I didn't have to leave any designs out, all of them are included here (hopefully). It was so nice to work with a character where I wasn't drowning in 20+ designs across every goddamn universe.

If they ever do Studio Series Gamer Edition WFC Shockwave, I don't mind a Brimstone Repaint

(If Takara Hasbro can't make a New Cybertron Brimstone Toy anyway)

Re: this

Netflix WFC Shockwave wasn't a mnemosurgeon, but didn't he at least allegedly do the second one to himself?

Iicr, I don't remember the netflix trilogy well but iicr, you're right

Imagine the consequences that had that we Didn't see

Anyway.

Fall of Cybertron and Destiny being the two first "real" games that I properly played (instead of getting stuck on a random level and never finishing)

combined with me being really into the TF07 DS game where you play as a custom "Create-A-Bot" character (via watching my friend play it when I went to his house. and also youtube videos) and my discovery of Armored Core some time between 2012-2016 when I saw the opening cinematic for 4A on youtube

has resulted in me really wanting (to play/make/both) a customisation-heavy transformers game where you play as an MTO

Unfortunately, my skillset amounts to being okay at drawing and painting, technically being able to kind of 3D model, making very rudimentary character rigs (and rigging two-stage universal joint mounted hydraulic pistons), and maybe being sort of okay at writing. so making it myself is out of the question.

(also even if I had all the necessary skills the amount of crap I'd need to make would be infeasible anyway so)

And hasbro seems content to let the TF game license rot in the mobile market (and possibly development hell/live service hell depending on how Reactivate goes), and I don't think they'd be that into the idea of making a tf game where you don't get to play as and/or which doesn't entirely focus on the big name characters, so I don't think we're getting anything like this anytime soon. or ever.

So I guess I'm just going to be waiting for a game that probably no one wants and will almost certainly never be made for however many years I have before I die.

.

Might start posting my dumb ideas for this hypothetical game under its own tag or something. Then again I might not because I mean.

Transformers Generations WFC: Siege IDW Impactor, Shockwave Netflix Deep Cover (G2 Deep Cover)

[cosmics-beings]

So i LOVE wfc megatron but if i had one complaint about him, it's just how easily he allows shockwave to walk over him. he is too passive for my liking. it's like this is shockwave's movement now , not megatrons. if he put shockwave in his place, at the very beginning and didn't let shockwave speak over him or manipulate him, then things would've been much easier. there was jetfire who was at least, some moral compass but even he just kinda sat on his hands while they tortured the shit out of his boyfriend, i mean magnus. Megatron gets mad at starscream every so often for just, existing and honestly chilling and yeah he talks a lot, but megatron's anger needs to be directed toward shockwave. and soundwave is also kinda chilling letting shockwave do shit.

like it's just so surprising that the ONLY reason megatron truly lost his way, the cause and became a bad leader in the wfc is because he couldn't stand up to, or put shockwave in his place. while i love this megatron, especially his voice, it seems like he just doesn't know how to stand his ground and is easily swayed and that was seen early on. and that is just so annoying to me because he has a clear vision of his movement/cause and shockwave can come along and just say some dumb shit repackaged as smart shit and megatron listens.

Thinking about the combaticons and how fucked up they are

Like after the 4-5 million year wars worth of imprisonment in the detention center with their sparks in a glorified filing cabinet, even ignoring the psychological impacts that would have, then being rebuilt by starscream of all bots and the episode may say he made them into a gestalt but that Doesn’t Make Sense. Gestalts are born able to combine due to sharing spark bonds right off the bat. They’re basically siblings, have shared spark material. How would someone artificially create that and do it in the woods with minimal supplies aside from scavenged frames to rebuild with? The WFC storyline of shockwave doing that part as an experiment makes much more sense and is what I go with bUT LIKE? THATS WORSE?? That’s Worse. Shockwave literally had his ability to give a shit surgically removed he did Not do any of that ethically, ignoring that the procedure in and of itself is unethical I’m not even sure they all got properly knocked out for it. I am sure they all at least kinda knew eachother before this, were probably a group, but methinks having a spark bond forcibly made connecting your Soul to bots you Kinda Know kinda nullifies the importance of how long they’ve know each other because however long it definitely wasn’t enough. Like that’s an instant breach of so much privacy good god. And they’re given no recovery time from this, just sent back into the decepticon army or some astroid as time-out or a revenge plot against megatron or whatever

The whole thing absolutely left remaining side effects bc I refuse to believe an experimental procedure of That degree was executed perfectly

Ya wanna know what was a real missed opportunity from Netflix’s WFC Trilogy?

Elita-1 and Shockwave not fighting onboard hovercrafts/hoverboards

They both got figures that give them hovercrafts/hoverboards, and it would have been COOL if this was included in the show!

Both of them zipping over the place like the Green Goblin, each trying to shoot and knock off the other whilst outmaneuvering shots and holding onto their own!

I admit that I didn’t watch the WFC Trilogy; I only know of details from the show because of others talking about it, but I can bet that if they included a hovercraft fight scene between these two, people would have talked!

okay since you reblogged that voice post I'm curious, do you have any thoughts on G1 Shockwave's voice? 👀

I am a fan of G1 Shockwave's voice! It's hard to go wrong with the classic voices, especially since such a great job was done of it.

G1 Shockwave I think has the most expressive voice. There's a lot more of the changes in inflection that I enjoy picking up on in other Shockwaves, and it sounds like it has more noticeable emotion behind it while keeping the intelligent and cunning aspect. I personally find it charming and weirdly comforting. I've put G1 Shockwave clips on in the background when I've needed to relax.

I'm a huge fan of the fact that TFA brought the same voice actor back to voice Shockwave again. The TFA version feels distilled, in some way. It emphasised the main elements of the original Gen 1 voice. That of course could be due to either different audio equipment or different voice direction (or a mix of both). It fittingly has a more manipulative undertone to it, suiting Shockwave's role as a double-agent in the show.

TFA also has the bonus aspect of the voice he puts on as Longarm Prime. It feels a little goofier just because it lacks the accent Shockwave has, but I like that. It's inviting and friendly (which is probably intentional).

I honestly hope that at some point we get to see the G1 voice with a Shockwave that's more physically built (e.g. like the TFP version is). As far as I'm aware the physically-strongest Shockwaves have had deeper monotone voices, which fit and I enjoy, but it'd be interesting to see G1/TFA's smoother voice coming out of a body like that.

I have this crossover idea that i call Alterity (Alternity was taken by a Transformers toyline, but Alterity propably also works).

All canonical Shockwaves (and maybe a few closely related people/creatures like Driller and Cyberverse's spider drones) scientifically end up in one place where there isn't anybody else around and they can't leave. Conflict ensues because many of them are not in fact compatible.

I'm not extremely familiar with many of them, and a few of them (ex. Cloud) i haven't read/watched/played at all or are outright inaccessible to me, or the character only appears very briefly or barely exists, so i'm not sure about the differences between them and the other Shockwaves. Because figuring out how they all are different from each other is the key here, obviously.

Also they know need nicknames to call each other, because it'd get extremely confusing otherwise. Shockblast would call everybody something insulting, but i can't think of anything for their "official" nicknames. Ideas?

The Cast

Funpub SG Shockwave — The one who looks exactly like Shockblast. Accompanied by his assistant Fistfight? Not a actually a scientist, because G1 Shockwave wasn't.

SG Animated Shockwave — He appeared in SD SG. Idk if TFA Shockwave is an actual scientist.

SG IDW Shockwave — From the IDW'S 2021-2022 Shattered Glass comic. I don't think it was a good decision,

IDW Comics Shockwave — As pre-Dark Cybertron or post-Unicron? Or immediately after Dark Cybertron? Or as the slightly dodgy senator?

Sunbow G1 Shockwave — That incompetent Megatron simp. Not actually a scientist?

Marvel G1 Shockwave — The competent backstabber who kept trying to overthrow Megatron. As pre- or post-Regeneration One (where the epilogue gave him, Starscream, and Ravage some kind of offscreen redemption arcs)? If it was post-Regeneration One, Starscream and Ravage could end up there too or are there too many people who aren't Shockwave in this? Not actually a scientist.

TFA Shockwave — Another Megatron simp, but also a shapeshifter. Did he really have a personality in the show or is most of it the fandom filling in? Is he actually a scientist?

Cyberverse Shockwave — I like to think he's actually a beastformer with an alien bug altmode. Accompanied by the spider tank drones?

IDW2 Shockwave — I haven't read, but apparently he's weirdly chaotic and fought in a Cybertron vs eldritch abomination war on the eldritch abomination's side?

Bee Movie Shockwave — Tfwiki says it's the same continuity family as Bayverse but it's obviously not.

Bayverse Shockwave — Accompanied by Driller?

Dreamwave Shockwave — Also haven't read. I think this was the first continuity where he was a scientist.

Netflix Trilogy Shockwave — The powered-up cannibal mode whose eye spontaneously changed color?

Transtech Shockwave — Don't know the guy at all.

Cybertron Shockwave — The one whose name is actually Shockblast and who doesn't act like Shockwave at all, but was only called Shockblast because of copyright issues. Could have Sixshot with him?

Cloud Shockwave — Also don't know the guy at all.

Earthspark Shockwave — They did my boy dirty and the series is still ongoing, but every Shockwave is every Shockwave.

TFP Shockwave — Post-Predacons Rising, accompanied by Ripclaw who was the clone in the tube? I'm thinking about Emperor Kumqyat's analysis video...

I know they canonically are the same, but should i treat TFP as a separate continuity from the WFC games and the other Aligned material because of the characterizational differences TFP had from the games and the Covenant of Primus in regard to Shockwave?

Honestly i think how the tfwiki calls it the aligned continuity family tells us so muchhh

Tfa Shockwave was actually a science! He was working on the Omega Supreme clones that ended up taking after Lugnut! He just was also a spy. I think.

I think? They're calling it Knightverse now? I call it beeverse but that's probably not gonna catch on

[mubthemoff]

Idk how to feel because someone abso-fucking-lutely knew and everyone is so mean to him

[halsieakuma]

In many series, loyal characters will saying statements in the format of "Don't be afraid/Don't worry Megatron! I will xxxx/I would xxxxx". The interesting thing is that they naturally worry about Megatron like his mother or partner, and believe that when Megatron is fragile, they are the best steadfast support for him.

This point is very cute. Because in the vast majority of cases, Megatron is portrayed as very independent and cunning, but his loyal subordinates really care about other aspects of him besides combat, such as emotional issues and diet.

Although Megatron's life has been filled with battles, everyone is still more worried about whether he will go hungry or get injured.

Such as:

Soundwave——G1(1984)

Inferno——BW(1999)

Lugnut——TFA(2007)

shockwave——WFC(2010)

Perhaps there will be Starscream from TFP (2009) here. After reconciling with Megatron, he has started to take care of him more straightforwardly than before.

And maybe waves from tfone(2024)? This time Megatron really became a younger character and their supreme leader. When they go through a period of personality adjustment, many interesting things will definitely happen.

[gregemann]

Whats ur favourite tfwiki article?

there's probably some funny ones i don't remember so I'm backtracking to Shockwave's regular g1/IDW one because of the insanity of trying to summarize his motivations in the comics, or the "fandom" section, but TFONE's new entries on shockwave make me laugh because it references the old WFC gamestop commercial
